In this paper, we investigate two families of fully coupled linear Forward-Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (FBSDE). Within these families, one could get the same well-posedness of FBSDEs with totally different structures. The first family of FBSDEs are proved to be equivalent with respect to the Unified Approach. Thus one could get the well-posedness of the whole family if one member exists a unique solution. Another equivalent family of FBSDEs are investigated by introducing a linear transformation method. By reason of the fully coupling structure between the forward and backward equations, it leads to a highly interdependence in solutions. We are able to lower the coupling of FBSDEs, by virtue of the idea of transformation, without losing the well-posedness. Moreover, owing to the non-degeneracy of the transformation matrix, the solution to original FBSDE is totally determined by solutions of FBSDE after transformation. In addition, an example of optimal Linear Quadratic (LQ) problem is presented to illustrate.
